WD?'ss

A buddy of mine has a 1949 WD. When we are working with the Wd We have to hold the Throttle Lever down, If we let go it will just slide back up to low Idle, How do ya fix that? Its a pain when ya are cuttin brush!

When ya press in the clutch the brakes also get pressd in, We took of the cover and back'd the brakes off some but it still does it! It does have a hand clutch.

Now the steering!!!! It use to be really easy to steer UNTELL a friend put new gear oil in the front bolster! I think he messd with the bolts on the bottem of the ______??? WHAT DO YA CALL IT? Ya have to take of one of the front tires to get to it! There is one on the bottem and a set nut/bolt about an inch up from it!

Thanks!!!!

Your throttle problem is most likely your throttle control spring. It is located under the gas tank. It is either broken, missing or hooked up incorrectly.

Your pedal issue has nothing to down with your brakes, it is all in your pedals. You either have a broken or missing return spring located at the base of your pedals. If this is not it you will need to remove the shaft that both the clutch and brake pedals are attached to and inspect it and the pedals more than likely it will be a problem with the pedal bushings (build up of old grease/dirt, recently replaced bushing that are too tight or bushing that are worn out ant catching on the shaft.

From the sounds of it you are probably correct in thinking that your friend messed with the bolts on your spindle shaft. Some of those bolts are used to adjust the freeplay in your steering, they probably need adjusted out some to loosen up the steering. Check with the manual or your friend for the correct procedure. I believe that it is the bottom bolt that does the adjusting.

That bottom bolt on the on the spindle has no effect on how hard it is to turn the wheel, if it is loose there will be play in the steering.

Pedal issue is likely dirt, rust...the three pedals share a common shaft. Only one, the left brake pedal, is attached to it- the other two rotate on it. Older models do not have replaceable bushings, need to have the pedal pivot machined oversize and a bushing turned to fit the one inch shaft. May need to make a new shaft as well. Drill and tap the clutch and right pedals for a grease fitting at the same time, if not already done. You do need to drill a tapered hole in the new shaft to match the setscrew for the left brake pedal- that can be done by grinding a half-inch bit into a taper to match the setscrew. Backing off the brakes was unnecessary- was not the problem to start with. Proper diagnosis saves a lot of grief. When everything else is fixed, be sure to adjust the brakes for proper stopping and locking. Lower bolt on the pedestal simply holds the axle spindle casting to the shaft. Hard rubber blocks on the throttle and lift lever are friction blocks, which hold the setting. Broken or missing?

THIS IS NOT MY tractor! Im just asking the ?s my friend wanted me to ask! As for the brakes!! He had no brakes tell we tighted the nuts up!

He is going to get a servMan

friction blocks, which hold the setting. Broken or missing? They are there.


This is why I stay with CASE IH FRMALL Lot less pain in the rear! LOL

Im asking all the ?s for my friend as it is his tractor! he just had his friend do some work and now the tractor has gone to _______!

THANKS FOR THE HELP! [/quote]

they can ALL be a pain in the rear if neglected.

There is a spring behind the throttle quadrant that applies the pressure to the friction blocks. They sometimes break. Your friend didn't happen to use new bolts when he put the cover back on after putting in the oil? if they are too long, they will drag the gear and cause hard turning.
